Buch0 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I spent the last half an hour looking at that.. Unbelievable really. One cant fathom the entirety of the universe. And for some to think we are the only ones in existence.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKA27 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I spent the last half an hour looking at that.. Unbelievable really. One cant fathom the entirety of the universe. And to think we are the only ones in existence.. Are we really the only ones......? Every single star one sees in the night sky is a Sun and weather some of those are no longer around, we still see that star in place as the distance that light travels to earth could take thousands of years. The Sun is one of around 200 billion stars just in the Milky Way galaxy alone. My understanding.... If there is a sun orbiting a planet (Provided it is at the optimal distance like Earths) and there is water, there WILL be some form of life. OZ's post is merely showing our Solar system, so far, astronomers have found about 70 solar systems and are discovering new ones every year. Given how many they have found in this neighborhood of the Milky Way galaxy, scientists estimate that there may be many billions of solar systems in our galaxy.

thechenman Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'd like to think there is more life out there, but I tend to be a I'll believe it when I see it type of guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZCUBAN Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 I believe that there is life out there, to think not I think is supreme HUMAN arrogance the chances of life NOT being out there is about the same as a box of perfect cubans i.e no duds or getting cheaper cigars in Oz or places to smoke them Cheers Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryguy Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Truly amazing! Many nights I have sat on my porch enjoying a cigar and have found myself staring into the sky wondering, what else is out there, where does it go, how far does it go? I for one, am also a firm beleiver that there has to be other life forms somewhere out there in the big, dark nowhere. Again I say...Truly Amazing!

bunburyist Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I love this type of stuff, thanks for posting. As far as other life forms go - without even a shadow of a doubt. Whether you are religious or not the enormity of the universe makes it almost a logical impossibility for us to be the only ones. (EDIT: all in my humble opinion, of course ) I love that feeling you get sometimes when you look at the stars and just get overwhelmed with the magnitude of space. And here were are on our little planet scurrying around for a few years, smoking bits of dried leaf. Makes you laugh eh. Somebody cryo-freeze me, I want to travel space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Maybe there needs to be a delinitation between life forms and intelligent life forms. That said...would humans qualify as the former or the latter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
